Time to toss the bums out.

Tax revenue surplus = taxes are too high.

Man, if I ever get elected to public office, it's gonna work like this:

1. Slash and burn government programs. Ruthlessly.

2. Privatize whatever I didn't destroy outright, within reason.

3. Cut taxes, so that the resulting budget surplus stays where it belongs: in the pockets of taxpayers.

4. When my state's economy booms thanks to the low taxes and I end up with another budget surplus, cut taxes again.

5. Wash, rinse, repeat.

6. ???

7. Profit!

How many times do the presstitutes need to be told that tax cuts are not, repeat NOT, gubmint spending? It's not the gubmint's money; it's the people's money.

How "convenient" it is the AP presstitute lumps Jeb Bush's tax-cut plan in with a whole host of new gubmint spending. It does, however, expose the difference between a fiscally-conservative Republican and fiscal-RINOs like Rommey and Schwarzenegger.

Romney, a Republican who is exploring a presidential run, wants to invest in education with laptop computers for 500,000 students to cost $54 million over two years;

Why do students need laptops? I bought my first laptop 2 yrs ago when I turned 33. Why on earth does the government need to provide laptops to students?

"• Florida: With $3.2 billion in higher-than-expected revenues, GOP Gov. Jeb Bush is pushing for $1.5 billion in tax cuts, including a rebate for homeowners, elimination of a tax on stock and bond holdings and repeal of a tax on alcoholic beverages sold by the drink."

Way to go Jeb!! Wish he could be our Gov forever!!

Good grief - let's not learn from past mistakes! Spend, spend, SPEND!! Then in a couple of years they can do the whole sobbing bit all over again *sigh* and raise our income and property taxes and open more casinos. Terrific.
